Who Are We?
Loyal to Big Oil, a wholly owned subsidiary of Billionaires for Bush, is a consortium of oil barons, oil-company CEOs, and giddy traders on the energy futures market. Oh, and of course the faithful representatives in Congress who deliver the subsidies and tax breaks we love at the expense of taxpayers who can't afford lobbyists of their own.
We are...
- The Big Oil CEOs who average $32.7 million a
year, almost 3 times the average CEO pay in the
U.S. The same CEOs who have gotten a 50% raise
since 2004!
- The oil companies who rake in $115 million daily in
net profit
- The oil and gas lobby that has spent over $33.5
million to buy our nation's Representatives and
Senators since 2000
- The oil companies that received $6 billion in
subsidies from the 2005 Energy Bill
- The oil barons responsible for the highest gas
prices in 25 years, and the highest profits in U.S.
